Q. What should I expect to get out
of an 8 week course?
A. If you are a complete beginner you will acquire a working
vocabulary and understanding of what the art of dramatic acting is
about. If you're already a working actor this class will quicken your mind and unpack your soul.

Q. I have a background in science and engineering yet have always loved films. I'm not sure if I'm an actor but I'd like to try. I would also like help with public speaking and leadership because I have many presentations to give to my colleagues throughout the year. A. Jaron Lanier's YOU ARE NOT A GADGET is a great read for someone like you. If you're interested in what he has to say then this class might be a perfect fit. -More info about my Communication Consultant work for technical experts and business professionals can be found... here.

Q. I want a career in show business.
How do I get started?

Q. Do you have visas for international
students?
A. No, this is boutique acting school, we don't have visas.

Q. How do I know that Method Acting
is the right technique for me?
A. There is no method! Great acting comes from the gut. The polemic around Stanislavsky, The Actors Studio and the Method
started in the 1950s and is still going on. IMHO the war is over. If you'd like to know who won watch My Week with Marilyn starring Michelle Williams and then see The Prince and the Showgirl (the film upon which My Week with Marilyn is based).
